I was browsing through the internet for matrix digital rain look-a-likes, because our yearly school theater is all about the matrix (the first one), and now that i found your beautyfull projekt (Matrix Fall X), i almost think that my search for great visuals is over… But i would like to know if there is a way to change the font you are using, so my school group could use our own wannabe matrix code font for the play.

if it is of any interest, then i can tell you that we are from Denmark, and that we would be very happy if you could help us by telling us how to change the font. We have the necessary software if any is needed

hi, thanks for your message, I really appreciate it.
The change the fonts, simply open the “fontes_vertes_alpha.png” and “fontes_blanches_alpha.png” files.
Those are PNG files and can be edited in any good image editor.

Your web page is awesome!!!! thanks for your code and help too. I was looking for many days and finally i have it. I have one question: the code can run in a window? if so can u tell me how? thanks again…

Can any one tell me a method to execute it i am a learner in c,but i m very enthusistic to matrix fall 3d
please get me some way to execute it
if u can mail me the program rewritten please post me that to………………………………..181781221@in.com

I would like to know how to create a matrix fall but with specific names and words I would type, instead of just letters. I have to specify I’m a novice in programming so do you know if there is a software that can do it?

hey
there might have a software out there to do what you’re looking for but I don’t know it.
You can try my Matrix Fall 3D source (on this blog) as it allows you to show custom texts (but not the way you want it)
You also can try to modify the sources… it’s possible and with not too much efforts but I won’t be able to help you as it is quite some work.
cheers

Hey,
This looks really awesome.
But i am running windows 7 on a widescreen laptop, so it only shows the Matrix effect in the middle 🙁
Any solution to get it full widescreen so i can use it as screensaver ?

Can someone tell me how to modify the code? I mean, I see the .cpp files but I’m not sure how to actually change, save and compile them. Thanks in advance. Please answer by email, thanks: jaferco95@yahoo.com.mx

hey
thx for your nice comment, unfortunately, my knowledge of opengl/c++ has faded away a bit and I won’t be able to help you on that if I don’t dig myself into it again. I don’t have enough time to do that at the moment but if you find out, feel free to post it in the comments !

I’m not doing any c++ dev anymore but I guess Visual Studio is still one of the best solution out there.
I did this quite some time ago (probably more than 10 years ago), it would surprise me if you didn’t have to change a couple of things here and there to make it work…
Good luck !
